• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Backup File and content

Hi,

I'm not sure if i am on the right track here, but the back up process seems to be pretty simple if it works.

I dont get any errors, as the backup file is successfully created according to my choices selected.

During the backup process, it shows what is being backedup ie: mail domain contect and so forth .

This file ends up being 3-5 gigs for this server, but when i restore it on the new server ( same setup file versions etc.), then it does something, and says the restore is complete, but no domain are created, and hence no domains and emails on the new server .

am i misunderstanding the backup process ? do i need to copy over more than just the backup file to the new server ?

Please assist

Thanks
Kirwin
 
Dear friends, Plesk backup system is very confusing.

But the backup file is very simple, it's just a .ZIP file actually.

I had to run restore on plesk 3 times and after each restore I could only see that 20% of my domains are restores rest of them are not. Then I figured out that actual backup file is just a ZIP file and I had to restore and setup all other domains by myself.

Right now I do not trust Plesk Backup but I use it once a week :).

Thanks.
